Leading visitors through the anarchy and excess of boomtown Moscow all the way to the cultural sanctuary of St. Petersburg, this essential guide to Russia's twin capital cities has been exhaustively researched by local residents. Capturing the surging excitement and unpredictability of the post-Soviet revolution, the guide provides detailed information on museums and galleries, the wild club scene, ballet, opera, fascinating trips outside the cities' limits, and much, much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very helpful guide to Moscow.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Time Out Moscow 1 (Paperback)
On a recent trip to Moscow I used this book, and found it very helpful. It is both intelligently writen and layed out. Although, it's section on St. Petersburg is very short compaired to that of the section covering Moscow, it is to the point, and helpful. There are so many differint beautiful places in Moscow this book really helps when deciding where to go. The metro maps really come in handy since they are in english. The information is not influenced by advertisers, so you know you can count on the opinions of the authors. You can't always count on the prices listed though, since they change regulary and are are higher if you are not Russian. (Though you get a genral idea) Overall this is a great book and I recomend it to any one considering visting Moscow or St. Petersburg.

The best guidebook for Gen-Xer's,
This review is from: Time Out Moscow 1 (Paperback)
Time Out guides are the best! Their reviews and write-ups are funny, entertaining but very true. I used to live in Moscow and the places they mentioned are top and are the places to BE. The sightseeing, essential info, restaurants and bars were all very well reviewd and described.
